In remember of the juni- discussion - the problem is also in 1.3.0.: The installation script is hanging in config - index. There are no reporting from any error. The installation is breaking after 20 s. I have not MYSQLrootrights on this server. I have load from CVS any versions of config. There are a version with a big describtion in the last time. I can´t say the number of the version, CVS-browse is down in this time. This works to begin the install! Whats to do for dummies?? Regards Dieter an sorry for the english.. :-(

Mine hung as well. At Checking Environment... I traced it down to a system function in the install_version_checks() function of install-utils.inc called right at the beginning there. I commented: # Turn off output buffering if it's on #ob_end_flush(); and everything went smoothly. It didn't seem to buffer the output anyway. php version 4.3.8-dotdeb

I had the exact same problem, and by commenting this line, the installation worked PERFECTLY and all my previously mentioned problems have been fixed.

I'll investigate this... Can you send me your php.ini file and/or the output from the phpinfo() function? That'll help reproducing it so I can add a workaround. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

I've attached install.txt.gz (original HTML install output prior to correction) and phpinfo.txt.gz (original HTML phpinfo() output). Hope this helps. -Bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brion Vibber" <brion(a)pobox.com> To: "MediaWiki announcements and site admin list" <mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org> Sent: Friday, August 13, 2004 5:54 PM Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] again: installation 1.3.0. is hanging I'll investigate this...

Unfortunately these didn't come through as we've recently configured the list to strip binary attachments (we've had a rash of virus e-mails sending with the return addresses of real subscribed people). However I'm pretty sure this is caused by PHP being configured globally to run all output through a compression filter: when buffering is disabled, the compressed output breaks off there and anything after is treated as garbage and ignored. I've checked in a fix to use ob_implicit_flush() instead of ob_end_flush(), and it no longer dies on my test box configured that way. This fix will be included in 1.3.2. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

I changed the line at the start of install-utils.inc, but only get a blank page. With ob_end_flush I get this output before it hangs: MediaWiki 1.3.1 installation Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation problems. Checking environment... * WARNING: PHP 4.3.2 or higher is recommended. Older versions from 4.1.x up may work but are not actively supported. PHP 4.2.3: ok * PHP server API is apache; ok, using pretty URLs (index.php/Page_Title) * Have XML / Latin1-UTF-8 conversion support. * PHP is configured with no memory_limit. * Have zlib support; enabling output compression. * Couldn't find GD library or ImageMagick; image thumbnailing disabled. * Installation directory: * Script URI path: /johans/wiki Warning: $wgProxyKey is insecure -- Regards Johan Seland

Well this seems to be a different problem. Can you point to your phpinfo() output or php.ini? -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)

On 1.3.2 I get a blank page, no matter the settings or ob_{end, implicit}_flush. My webserver is Apache running on Solaris. Should that matter? -- Regards Johan Seland
